Thank you for encouraging older people to get stronger and healthier!

@@KenDBerryMD I agree,I'm 57,been keto half a year now and doing way better physically and mentally. Sugars and junk crap foods do nothing for me when I see them,wish I had known about this years ago though.
@@KenDBerryMD can you lead me to the videos you are doing for strengthening muscles? i am 73 and severely underweight and very weak lower body/legs. definitely have lost some muscle mass. 90 days carnivore now and lost weight even tho that is not what i do this diet for. how do i eat to gain? not sure if you still respond to older posts, but thank you for all the helpful info you post. both you and nurse cindy.
You are NEVER too old or too sick or too weak to Begin. Today would be a good day to make one change...
Does the diet help people who have lymphedema?
♡♡THANK Y'all VERY much for posting this & explaining everything very simply!! ♡♡You are helping SO MANY people like me who NEED to hear this to feel encouraged, stay focused & on track! Not only did I lose 100lbs with this lifestyle...I found energy that I didn't even know was possible! I finally felt like I had the same energy as everyone else around me...maybe more than some! which is much better..than... always feeling too tired to do anything that me or my family wanted to do. After a couple years...I allowed myself to veer off track when life's challenges became overwhelming to me. Thankfully, I have your videos to keep me in line & remind me why I need to look at this just like any other medical condition that needs treatment...making myself a priority & practicing self-care to feel my very best for myself & my family. So, anyway...Heartfelt thanks again for all of your help!
Yes!
Pills usually take a day or so to kick in and work...give this lifestyle the same day or so...I couldn’t believe how fast the improvements were apparent.
Would love a video talking about the difference between total carbs and carbs from fiber. I've lost 40lbs so far doing keto religiously for 4 to 5 months. I avoided all carbs - tried for less than 20 a day (ate my veggies without carb counting) but have been hearing a lot of the difference between total carbs and carbs from fiber. Wanted to know if you had an opinion! :) thanks!
I had a doctor's visit yesterday with a pancreas specialist and I actually convinced the doctor to go Keto!!!!!
I did as well with my regular dr. And we work together now. On our ideas she doesnt challenge my knowledge about keto. But unfortunately she is on maternity leave till feb. And i jad to see her fill in.. big head ache.. ugh.. all she could tell me was how bad keto diet was. And since i am a type 2 diabetic its to harmful to my liver n kidneys.. can you shed some light on this Dr. KenDBerryMD
@@autumnproctor5718 I had the opposite experience, when my regular GP was ill and I saw several locums who were much more in touch about keto. One of them actually held out his hand and congratulated me for being a "Knowledgeable patient!" When my GP returned, she made no mention of my reduced A1c (no longer in diabetic range) but rather "Don't loose anymore weight!"
I told my doctor I was going to try Keto. She said NO WAY! said I was going to die sooner. I weigh 150. Both about 5.2 and over weight. I said to her, we’ll see who dies first. I’m 70 by the way and on no medication and she’s 42 and I don’t know about her health but she weighs about 250+.
@@autumnproctor5718 Autumn, Dr B has many videos on T2 Diabetes as well as Dr Sarah Hallberg and Virta Health. My question is, if eating fewer processed sugars and increasing whole foods bothers this MD, what DO they want you to eat? Even the ADA just came out a few days ago stating that lower carbohydrate eating is one way to treat T2.
@@TSunshineful GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!
I'm 58 and have lost 35 pounds doing keto since Sept 28th. What is far more impressive is I've gone from size 26 to 22 and have much less inflammation and greater mental clarity. It had been several years since I had read for pleasure because I could not concentrate. In the last few weeks I have read 10 books (400-500 pages)!
Thank you for recognizing those of us who are not muscle bound 20 year olds.
58, with a myriad of health issues, and for once I see hope.
Keep up the great work, Doctor!!
Same here and I agree..
Thank You Dr Berry! Dec 10th I threw away all my noodles, potatoes, sugars etc ... I feel Great, so much energy (my yard has not looked this good in years)
63 yo Male, Dec 10th I weighed in at 265lbs, I am 67" tall had a 50" belly (.735) I have a bet w my fishing buddy and we will weigh in together Jan 10th (I'm pretty sure I'm doing good my belly measures in at 47 1/4" (.705) this morning)
I used to live on Beans, Lots of Rice, Meat and Tortillas (South Texas), now its Meat, Eggs and I love Brussels Sprouts.
I don't get hungry till 4-5 PM (my main meal) then before bed I have a chia pudding shake.
My BP is still too high but I'm working on it
TMB247- I'm so happy that it's working for you. Your friend will be too. Feeling better is the best part both of you feeling better is better than any bet.
After surviving 3 car accidents within 10 years I am now a disabled, chronic pain patient at the age of 58. I am terrified that within a year or two I'll have to go into care as I'm not able to care for myself properly. Thank you! for this message of hope. Much appreciated
Dr. Berry, Dec7, 2017 my surgeon told me I would have to lose 13 pounds to do my knee replacement so I started KETO For me and my husband - I figured it would be gone by February 2018 - I only lost 2lbs but I wasn’t ready to give up. I am 66yrs old -a type 2diabetic with malabsorption issues and celiac. It would have been easy to stop but I was determined. I had spent 40years with both knees bone on bone and the past 18years walking with my right knee slightly bent to reduce the pain in that knee while walking.. I started intermittent fasting the weight started melting so instead of going right back into KETO i did carnivore. Wow really lost a lot of weight lbs. So the bottom line is from Dec7, 2017 to Feb. 7, 2018 I only lost 2lbs - but from Feb. 7, 2018 to Oct 14, 2018 I lost 52 lb..... Right knee completed, 1done and 1 to go. A1C 5.5 and all other under control.
I'm a 53 old woman that started keto sept and have lost 13 pounds!! No more hot flashes and so much more energy started running again loving life!!😍
Welll I had done keto and prolonged fasting and had great results. Then i changed jobs and everything changed and I put the weight back on and shortly after this i was haveing shortness of breath and my chest was tight. I told the ppl at new job they sent me to the ER I ended up having a triple bypass. None of that was from the keto diet it was from a life time of high insulin and bad eating and they say smoking.well i quite smoking and since i put weight on after recovering some they think it is chf. So after our family dinner 12/25/2018 I am now going back to fasting and keto. Last night 385.2 lbs this morning 378.6 when i woke up all might be water coming off but much needed goal 200 to 230. I am 42 and this video make me have the faith I can still get this done and have another 40 plus yrs. Thank you Doc.
I went to a family thing yesterday for Christmas and the food was ridiculous,lol They wondered why I wouldn't eat anything,I'm like I'm keto,well they laughed about it as they were stuffing cupcakes and fudge into their mouth all while complaining about their health and how fat they're getting. I pretty much sat there calm and quiet. I gave them some info but I could see nothing was sinking in,so I let it go. Besides losing weight and more energy and believe it or not a way younger feel,I noticed how calm I have became. I used to be bummed out and high strung and jumped at every little noise. but now,wow and I just noticed that about me yesterday. Also I used to be vegan before I went keto and being a vegan totally messed me up.
Nanna
Congrats on being strong in the face of family pressure! Sometimes the levels of diet abd drug brainwashing and sugar addiction are just...ugh! Most doctors are doing great harm in their willful ignorance and complicity, and for sure the food pyramid is outright a scheme to kill off as many people as possible. I assume the govt backs it because "they" want to save money on social security. Kudos to Dr Berry and Nurse Cindy for bucking the trend and speaking truth.
Way to go Nanna!!
Way to go! Isn’t it amazing how others want you to be as miserable as they are and how they complain about weight gain while stuffing themselves with sugar and carbs?
Yep I know lots of ex vegans that were so sick when they were vegan but now are way better since giving it up.
Awwww you all are hecka cute. Thank you for sharing. I’m 71 yrs old. Been on keto diet change for 11 wks. Have lost 10lbs but doing it more for energy and to lower inflammation. The weight loss is just a bonus. Thank you doc for all the good information coming out of your videos.
🙏🙏🙏. Have a great year!
What a team you two make ! I love listening to your encouraging words. Thanks !
I do not eat plants. I did Keto for a really long time. Now my dietary regimen is as close to Zero Carbs as possible. Only animal products.with the exception of the spices to flavor my fatty meats and fish. I will be 70 years old in May. My muscle mass is much like it was when I 50. I have lost some muscle in my gluteus maximus. I have begun an exercise program to reverse it. My upper body musculature is excellent. I have pecs that look like I been doing bench presses and my biceps are still pretty good. I have lost tricep mass due to nerve damage from 4 collapsed cervical discs. Over all though my muscle mass is still good.
I’m so glad I found you & Keto. I had a heart attack a year ago in November and I feel so much better now. I have lost 33 lbs & I just turned 50. I refuse to take statins! I hope to heal my body and get off all the medicine I’m on. Would you do a video on MTHFR please? I would like to what to avoid.
Jodi Reikimedium333 good for you. I had bypass surgery and have a pacemaker put in 2014. No family history of heart problems, ate low fat high carb all my life and I exercised religiously all my life cause I wanted to be HEALTHY. I needed 5 arteries bypassed. First year post op, took all the pills they told me to take, including statins. FELT LIKE SH-T. 3 years ago, I dropped the statins, went HIGH HEALTHY FAT LOW CARB.......BEVER FRLT BETTER IN MY LIFE. Try keto, you will be amazed. CARBS ARE THE ENEMY, NOT FAT!!!!!!!
Thank you, I started Keto in July
Jodi Reikimedium333 I have the C677T MTHFR polymorphism. My health care practitioner put me on the methyl forms of B6, B9 and B12. In addition she advised me to up all my B vitamins. It paid off. My homocysteine levels went down by almost half.
Keto also improved my C reactive protein. CRP and dropped my A1C.
A Christmas gift! Welcome Cindy. I am a 64 yo RN (keto for 4 mos now with GREAT results!) and just found out that ai have slipped into osteoporosis. I will now become a dedicated listener of yours AND Dr. Ken. Thank you both...❤
You are most welcome!! It has become my mission!!
Such a great talk. I am 2 years in and 64. Lost 17 pounds but this journey has so many layers to it. So excited Dr Ken and nurse Cindy for these new projects. I can’t wait. I have been waiting for this !,,,,,,
I noticed that some of the young people I have been following for keto lose weight rapidly and can switch back and forth in and out of keto and keep losing weight. It took me awhile to realize that I am older and just different from the younger people who are doing this. My body is very reluctant to lose any weight even though I've stayed on a pretty strict less than 20 grams of carbs a day and I enter my foods into the program Cronometer religiously. It's taken time for me to find a balance on keto where I don't even want junk food except very rarely when something triggers me. Then I don't eat it, and the desire passes. Still, I haven't been losing weight much, so I have just quit weighing for now.
Diabetes is something that runs in my family. It killed my mother and both my older brother and sister have it. I am doing this to prevent diabetes long-term. I have clearer mental focus and I no longer have hypoglycemic episodes like I used to. Watching people's UA-cam channels encourages me to keep doing keto long-term. Thanks for acknowledging that we are different as we age and success for someone like me can be not gaining weight, even though some 20 and 30 somethings lose tremendous amounts of weight rapidly.
The sedentary and chair-bound folks really need a lot of help with inspiration to know that this is not all that life has for them. I know SO many men and women who literally have done nothing for years except sit at home because they're too ashamed to go in public from being so overweight. They really need help. I will be 45 this year and I am really wanting to get it together in 2019. I say that EVERY year, but I really want this to be THE year! You inspire me to want to do better for myself. You give me hope that sitting at home in shame and embarrassment isn't all there is to life and I may find my way out of this self-imposed prison. I am looking forward to this new series. Thank you, Dr. Berry and Nurse Cindy. I hope y'all had a Merry Christmas!
Yes! Can't wait for this series! Just what I need at 65!
Thank you, I am in my menopausal years, and I am not overweight, but I lost 100lbs a while back, and I still have some stubborn fat that I am trying to lose. It's very frustrating. This past year, my bf lost 100 pounds, and I struggled back and forth with the same 10lbs., lol. However, I am thinner than I was last year.
I am still breathing, I can get stronger I can get better. I think I just found my mantra for 2019!
Seeing 70 in my near future. My strength has been good. I failed my body with diet. Unknowingly. Going into menopause and experiencing the physiological slow down I attributed my creeping weight gain to “the change” and I listened to the SAD. I should change my diet. I had, unknowingly, been eating a KETO way my whole life to this point. Never issues with energy weight etc. Was that thin lean muscular female, without any effort. All because of my diet. Ahh, but then I became that matronly older female. Thought that was it. Until I got some blood work and I about passed out. My Dr. didn’t even blink at my #’s, or the high markers. Just wanted to give me a statin. NOT. I told her “no way” I’d see her in 90 days. Sat myself down started doing some reading and watching a couple YT videos, came across your KETO get started video. The lights came ON. That is how I used to be. Was Lean and Healthy and ate that LCHF way. Am deep into KETO.
I’ve dropped 20lbs very quickly experienced the Great changes already. My 90 day blood draw is fast approaching can’t wait to see the #’s. Am strict LCHF, moderate weights and moderate walking, “again”. Feeling so good and optimistic.
Side note I had an accident at 60 and had my right leg amputated. I embraced the reality and am fine with the amputation. My mobility and health going into my Senior years is top priority. Dropping the weight, and continuing to do so is huge. Wish me luck in my Health Span Journey. Love your passion.
So very impressed with the action you are taking as well as your mental strength. Wishing you ONLY good things moving forward!
Thanks! Cindy will be a great addition! I am 70 years young... newly Keto and basically now enjoying one meal a day. But have been VERY relaxed with my program over Christmas. Now... it is full speed ahead Keto and Intermittent Fasting! So looking forward to specific info for us female seniors... especially when geared to those with bad knees! I am set on losing weight and getting truly fit as well. -It’s never too late!
Thanks for this post. As a female about to turn 70, this was very helpful. I have been on Keto for four months and have not lost a lot of weight. I really only have 5-10 to loose and it is coming off slowly and now I understand why. However, my energy level is amazing and my aching joints are gone. It really helps to focus on how I feel, rather than a number on the scale. I liked the comment that no matter how slowly you loose, you Are LOOSING and not gaining!
WOW!!! I am really looking forward to this new information!!! I am 72yo, been on the keto way for 6 months, and am down to 195# from 240#. My endurance is way up, inflammation, is way down and I've never eaten so good in my life. I have so much to look forward to now, Lord willing.
I can’t wait for your videos for older people. I am 59 and started keto 2 years ago and dropped 25 kg (55lbs). After a lifetime of dieting, this is by far the easiest and most effective weight loss I have experienced. It’s no longer a diet but simply a lifestyle choice. However, I now need to think about building muscle ... yes for the reasons you stated but also to enhance my look and to compensate the lack of elasticity in my skin. It’s great that you recognise that different age groups need to take differing approaches. Thank you for your vids.
I turn 60 in just a few days, and I sure I needed to see this. A new year, a new me! Bless you both!
Amen!! 60+ and so much harder to lose but I appreciated the encouragement to stay on track to eat to health
Just in time. I'm within 5 lbs of my weight goal. I'm about to start working out with the goal of building muscle. So I'd enjoy videos on the subject. Most strength training material I've read places an emphasis on a diet that includes a lot of carbs. Another related subject is skeletal and joint health.
Keep up the good work Doc!
I have been eating keto for 8 months. I use your videos to stay motivated. I had a bad stall in October-November but kept calm. I’m in a whoosh now and feeling fantastic.
Love the "if you're still breathing.." quip because it is sooo true!! Begin with baby steps and just keep on keeping on...as we used to say during my youth.
What an encouraging video! Thank you. I'm 63 and started this Keto journey because I've watched my Mom slide into dementia and it's so sad and terrifying. I want to do all I can to avoid it! I've lost 30 pds since August which I am just astounded by! What a great side benefit😉 I feel so much stronger energetic and focused. Thanks for all your tips and videos. Blessings and Merry Christmas❤
Thanks guys, love this. I'm 55, post menopause, have lost weight on low carb and doing IF, but the muscles has gone. I really need to get that tone back if possible and increase bone density. I work in Aged Care and see people struggling everyday. I don't want to be one. more videos like this would be wonderful, Thank You.
Thank you! I am about to hit 60, I have been on keto about 10 weeks now and my waistline is shrinking satisfactorily. I am so thrilled. But I am aware that I do need to do something more to boost the muscles and bones, so I am looking forward to getting some inspiration and information on these points! Thank you so much for your commitment to us all!!
Dr Berry thank you for doing these videos... I am type 2 Diabetic and after only 2 or 3 days my sugar in the morning went from 250 to 110 just from cutting out carbs after only a few days and I just cant believe how much and how fast my sugar went down so thank you
I weighted 220 pounds (that's 40 pounds overweight in my case) Been on keto for 2 months now and I have lost 23 pounds so far. My reflux, heartburn, joint inflammation and headaches are gone 100% I am truly impressed. I feel like I am 20 again, full of energy and so happy to get rid of sugar once and for all.
A true doctor and a true nurse. Great video. Greetings from Sweden!
59 yr young VSG female. Been Keto for over a year & maintain my 120 lb loss from surgery 4.5 yrs ago. I refused to be a statistic w/regain as well as reap the benefits of this WOE. My Mom has Alzheimer’s disease & know this is part of my arsenal to combat the disease.
"Meat and Greet" Ha! Thanks, Doc! I am a lacto ovo vegetarian and have found great success following your guidelines. I had chronic aches and pains, exhausted, post-menopausal - you name it. I was barely eating (low fat - tons of veggies) but following my sugar addiction to an early grave. I was gaining weight and felt despair. I am a changed woman after 5 weeks of my version of Keto Tarian and IT. So much Gratitude! All the best! T
Thank you for trying to address seniors over 50. We need a lot of direction on how to do it without injury! TY!!!
Have always loved her...look forward to more of the two of you!!
I have discovered that experimenting is really important because as you said we're all different. I am 46 and have hypothyroidism, hashimoto's, no gallbladder, and had noticed early signs of diabetes, so my journey hasn't been as quick as a lot if ppl. I've lost 20 lbs in 5 months, and I've have managed to be patient and experiment a
& research.
It's so cute seeing you two together! Loved it! I follow you both...so this was great!
I'm 63 doing ketovore,trying to go to carnivore! This weight loss needs to catch up! Lol I feel great through! So I will never stop this woe.Thanks to yall!
This is Gold.
Thank you Cindy and Ken
I am going to be checking my computer daily for the promised videos on how to build muscle, balance, and vitality in the the over-50s - I need this as soon as possible!
I’m looking forward to this series. I’m 59 and have been Keto for 5 months. I have weak legs and have problems getting up. I went to my doctor and he ran a bunch of thyroid tests and told me my test results do not support my symptoms. Felt kinda like he thought I was making it up. My legs have been weak for at least 10 years and I have had jobs the last 30 years that I stood up all day.
looking forward to your video on how to get my muscles stronger and slow down muscle loss...thank you Dr. Berry and Nurse Cindy
Thank you Dr Berry. I’m glad I found you .Unlike most people, I am trying to gain weight. I lost about 20 lbs of muscle mass when I was vegan. I am 57 and I grew up in Japan with a high carb low meat diet . Meat was just too expensive . I have had IBS and gut issues all my life. I was afraid to go Keto because I was told by trainers at the gym that Keto was only good for fat loss and not for muscle gain. So I went straight into carnivore. I did lose some weight but mostly bloat around my lower abdominal region . My digestion is great, no more stomach issues .
Loved this video! thank you both . . . never too old!
So glad to hear about the videos that are coming. Can you address the wasting away because of a complete hysterectomy? Thank you.
Thank you Ken and Cindy
awsome good talk about the aging process and keto, what makes us different and how keto affect us. Im 52 and been working toward improvement of my health. Have lost 30lbs so far but its slowing down some but Im not!
Thanks for the video and encouragement -- 75 yrs old here -- and -- would love to see videos referencing folks in their 2nd half century --
Great chat... Keto is not one size fits all and that’s why I get frustrated by the more militant in this space. Support and lead by quiet example.
Well said David....i wish everyone who has found the "perfect" way of eating to quietly lead by example too. They won't though haha
D M lol. Thx. We need to simplify for the beginners in our various groups. Shaming someone over nightshades, green beans, dairy etc doesn’t help us help them. I always tell them that if it works, go ahead, but if you stall or aren’t getting the results you’d like, THEN it’s time to refine. And I always offer to review food logs, or chat 1:1
@@desmit6 Shaming people is inexcusable, but I must say that I appreciate those who have talked about their own experiences with certain foods that caused them problems. It has helped me to identify many 'culprits' that were involved in my--now past--ailments. :)
Tee Dee yes! Sharing exp is awesome
I am 64 (will be 65 in march). Read your book in August, have been doing keto since then. I was a little overweight (6'2" weighed 210lbs in August). Work out 5 days a week with weights (30-40 min per workout) plus walk 3-5 miles a week. Weigh 195 now, have increased muscle mass, stopped taking metformin and lisinopril, feel so much better overall.
Thank you thank you all this info it has encouraged me to keep on going!
This is Great! Love both of you!
Thank you for talking to us about menopause, I'm 57 and I've been on KETO for 3 weeks, I lost 3 lbs of water weight the first week and gained them back the next week. I check my ketones twice a day and I'm between .05 to 2.0 and with Christmas cheat day I was still in ketone range. I haven't lost anything in 3 weeks. I'm assuming it's my age but when I hear others losing weight I want to give up. I have 29 lbs to lose. I don't feel the energy at all that others say they feel. Glad I didn't buy anything, I'd want my money back.
I started keto one month ago to the day, I’ve lost 33 pounds and feel great. I’ve stopped psoriasis medication as my skin has started healing itself. Hoping I can stop blood pressure meds soon too, will check with the doctor in the coming months once BP lowers. Thanks for your videos, these have been a great help.
As someone who turns 65 next month, I cannot tell you HOW MUCH this video encouraged me! It appears that most people's mind set about elderly people is that we're OLD and therefore useless. Thank you for pointing out that as long as you are breathing you CAN have quality of life! Looking forward to following Dr. Berry and hopefully getting an Evisit some day soon! Keep up the great work!!
Definitely not useless Donna, the older and wiser citizens of our world have much to live and give...they just need guidance and support re eating and exercise within their capabilities 😊
Couldn't agree with you more!
Thank you for being so encouraging! ♥️ I am going to be getting started this week. I am 53, and sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!
When I saw my doctor in November, I'd lost 10 pounds so far on keto. We had a friendly argument about my higher then normal LDL. She'd been trying to get me to loose weight for quite awhile but all she noticed was my LDL. When I go back in February of 2019, I'll have a list of ALL of your videos, Dr. Berry, and ALL of your videos Nurse Cindy for my doc to learn a few of the facts that I now know. Maybe she will share them with her other patients who are over 70 years old and have DM, arthritis, and a host of other ailments. Thank you both so much for helping many of your viewers become healthier.
That is exactly what I have been needing and searching for. I found Keto about 5 months ago and thought maybe I can do this. I will be 60 in 2 months and am more than 100lbs over weight and have noticed loss of strength and muscle mass lately. I have lost 40 lbs, and I feel so much better. I know I need to build muscle but have no clue where to start. I know I can keep going with the Keto diet, but without building some muscle mass my skin is starting to flab even more and I want to fix that. I've seen nurse Nancy's squat videos and am starting there. Thank you both so much for making great content available.
I am 61 and have been keto for 6 months - this is so great! No starches, no grains, and no sugar means a lot of healthy fats, moderate meat and lots of leafy greens makes meals not only easy but delicious. My big physical work-up comes in Feb. Numbers look good except for cholesterol but that has a protective effect according to the literature so I'll keep rolling with being keto.
Loved the both of you together and so relaxed. Great info. I’m turning 60 in March. I needed to hear this! I’ve been keto 2 years already. Love it!
We took a break from keto for Christmas and it sucks royaly!!! My joints ache 😖 and my guts feel crappy! I think I will just crawl into bed until the carbs are all gone. Feeling really tired too. Merry Christmas Dr. Berry! 😂 you have the same couch we do and you sit in the same grove I do too much 😂.
I had the same experience! I will make a point from now on...to remember how yucky this feels when I feel like veering off track again!
Same here! Ouch, ouch and so tired! Lesson learnes🙂
I did the same thing. Now I am having a terrible time getting back on Keto. I am so mad at myself.
Haha, loved it, thanks Dr Berry. Hi Cindy. Liked, shared and eager for the next installment
Thank You for Finally addressing us older folks...trying to get healthier..
This is what threw me about carnivore. I did it when I was very young. I made it 10 days. I was feeling so sick and tired all the time that I confused the meat with something unhealthy. For me, there has to be a balance. I do about 80% carnivore and 20% everything else. It's always a mix. If I have toast, it has a ton of real butter on it. Everything is complemented. But, because I thought carnivore was unhealthy for me, I tried to go vegetarian. And then I found out what was like to be really sick! Thank you for everything you do. Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow. I've only been doing this a little over a week, and I cannot believe the difference. I haven't been this happy in years.
I needed help with ketogensis..went "ideal protein" for about 4 months..lost 30lbs..looking good!
Awesome! I am looking forward to this particular series!! 😀
Great video guys. I stayed strong through the Christmas temptations and will continue through the New Year. Not even one adult beverage... 😁💜🧡💛💚💙❤ Love and blessings to you and your family. 😇😇😇
Great point to understand the mentors point of view and to follow someone in your same situation
Best keto video. I'm menapausal and have autoimmune so it's all quite a struggle.. wow amazing at the huge amount of aging people in this thread. I'm 48 and need extreme help did low carb for about 9 years but that's not enough for me.. I do need to add strength training
Start with some toe raises (heel lifts) while holding onto the back of a chair for stability. Resistance bands are very inexpensive and can add some basic strength to both upper and lower body. We will be posting some videos soon
Thanks this will be really helpful Can’t wait 😊
Excellent, Dr. Berry. I keep telling folks 'one size does not fit all' when it comes to Keto/Carnivore. A ketogenic diet for weight loss is different than a keto diet for a type ll diabetic. For those who are severely insulin resistant(as I was), they may have to cut their carbs even below the recommended 20%. My food choices were closer to a carnivore than the classic Keto. I did eat avocados and asparagus(small portions) Lots of fatty meats and fish( Alaskan Salmon & Sardines)
Thanks Dr berry and nurse Cindy 💜💜💖💖💖
My 2 favorite keto gurus! Happy New year everyone!
I’ll be 70 on the 4th 😩and getting up off the floor is challenging. Getting up out of chairs with out the use of my arms is easy... now thanks to the ketogenic woe. But the floor! 😰. Thanks for this video. 👍🏼
Dear Dr. Berry: i’m writing to you since i’m on keto since last 9 months. I’m 46 years old, not over weight (126lbs) and has no health problem a part of high Cholesterol! My doctor was extremely MAD at me last week because of my blood results. I think he doesn’t look at the good metrics. He said i have all metrics for heart attack!!! Cholesterol T =8.9, Triglycerides =0.6 HDL=2.0 LDL=6.6 non-HDL-Chol= 6.9 cholT/ HDL= 4
Could u please help me understand these numbers? Your FAN from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 merci ☺️
Great video. 👋🏽 Thank you.
Thank you- I needed this! Looking forward to these new videos!
What a delightful video. I will be 81 in March 2019, began Keto on Mother's Day of 2018, after being insulted by an Endocrinologist who put me on the "latest" and "greatest" diabetes meds--both of which had such terrible side affects that I said to myself, "I will NOT spend whatever time I have left on this planet feeling this way!" He also insisted that I go on insulin, something I had already told him I wouldn't do. So I perused the internet and came up with your site as well as the Diet Doctor site. Since then, I have lost 40lbs.--a wonderful side affect of the Keto (Let's say LCHF) way of eating. However, I struggle with eating enough fat--I have a chronic diarrhea problem, lymphosytic colitis, that I've had for about 5 years, and have been on a corticosteroid that has seemed to be the ONLY treatment for this problem. "They" have said that the only way to deal with the problem--they have no cure because they don't have a cause--is to not eat a rich, high-fat diet. In spite of that advice, I have been able to lose the weight that I've been trying to manage for the past 25 yrs. In fact, I reasoned that if the LCHF protocol could help with inflammation and other maladies, over time I just might be able to deal with the colitis. So, I stopped my corticosteroid in October and haven't looked back. This was not an easy decision--it took several weeks of you-know-what for my digestive system to calm down and, depending on how much fat I consume, I still have occasional bouts of diarrhea. Therein lies my problem--I have a lack of energy due to not consuming quite enough fat, but I will not go back to the high carb I had been doing for so long. I guess my reason for this epistle is to find a compromise that I can live with for the long term, because I feel so much better eating this way. I am a Type 2 diabetic and probably have been most of my adult life. As a result, I'm also Stage three CKD--thank goodness the LCHF protocol promotes "moderate" protein. I have several issues with certain food groups, so am dealing with that, also. BUT, I'll deal with that, rather than go back to the SAD way of eating. I sure appreciate you, Dr. Berry, and also what looks like a new way of looking at Keto--a more relaxed way of dealing with food and with life--with Nurse Cindy. Makes me happy!
I'm 68 yrs old, have been on keto almost 5 months and have lost 20+ lbs. I've had chronic inflamation & reflux for years and would say those symptoms are reduced but not gone and still flare up even though I don't ever cheat. I hope to be able to continue eating this way for the rest of my life - don't have cravings at all and don't miss the foods I don't eat any more and feel so much better over all. But my 88 yr old mother who is a heart patient (etc) thinks I'm putting my health in serious jepardy because I'm not eating grains and fruit ......the standard American diet. My question is - what more could I be doing to eliminate my inflamation & reflux? And is it safe for me to stay on keto forever?
Cheeee-hooo! Let's do this! I've been waiting for you to recommend the right kinds of exercise for different age/agility groups in relation to gender, current weight, health issues, disabilities and long term goals. Hooray!
A great team, hoping to see the dynamite duo much more often!!
My keto journey has been an up hill climb if I am going to be honest. When I started I was 116 lbs. I am now 129lbs. I am menopausal which is super hard to battle against. I work out with weights, cardio and zumba dancing, but I continue to gain weight. I did have my hormones checked. My cortisol is a bit out of whack and I am stage one Adrenal fatigue. I have been balancing my hormones with supplements for about 1.5 months. On the upside I am healthy. I currently have a cold which is the first one in about a year, which was unheard of prior to keto. My energy is good. I can go hours with out eating. So some positives and some things to work on. Any advice on the hormone issue? I am 53 and really hoping I will be out of this time of life soon. I really need to see the weight loss benefits of keto.
"You only lost 2 pounds over the year, but congratulations, you didn't gain 5 pounds."
That is some of the best advice to give to people that feel like they are struggling. A lot of people rely solely on the scale to determine their progress and it creates a lot of dissatisfaction. Just knowing that a minimal weight loss is far greater than a continuous weight gain is invaluable.
Thanks for the motivational talk. Be well.
This just made smile. Thank you
I am 88; started Keto on 13th October because I realised I had a craving for sugar that I wanted to get rid of. I also suffered from reflux. Although not much overweight, I have always struggled to keep that way. To my surprise, my cravings stopped as soon as I started Keto. My reflux no longer prevents my sleeping on my right side. It still troubles me, but I can usually ward it off. A painful shoulder that stopped me sleeping on my left side has gone.
I realise that these things are trivial compared with the health problems suffered by many of your followers, but I would like to manage my old age well, especially as I live on my own. I do not take any medication. I have fallen fairly naturally into intermittent fasting, eating 2 meals a day (sometimes 1) with around 18hrs fasting. I have found all the help to do this on UA-cam.
Unfortunately, I found I couldn’t hear this video. All the other videos of yours have been clear, perhaps because you were nearer the camera. If, as I think I gathered, you are talking to older people, many of whom are hard of hearing, perhaps you could do something about this. I have no technical knowledge, but might it be a matter of using two microphones? Not too keen on the view of two pairs of feet!
Points taken re sound. SO proud of you for all of the great improvements you have gained!!!
Yeah dr. Berry I like that idea I am 59 years old what's type 2 diabetic not to lose both of my feet overweight by 100 lb two bad knees I started working out again when on the keto diet now I have a body like I'm in my thirties or 20s I get up every morning at 3:30 workout on different body parts take Sunday off to recoup have more energy than before sleep 8 hours or 7 hours every night if I can do it anybody can do it best shape since in my twenties from a 38 Bridges 227 Bridges
Congrats.. what an inspirational testimony 😍😍
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved the video we are doing the Keto diet and have started my parents on it my mom is 69 type 2 diabetic and my dad is 78 and very good shape doctors say he has the heart of a 19 year old he has gout and I worry that he might develop gout he says he gets gout when he eats a lot of red meat and mushrooms. He also went and had a colonoscopy done three years ago and they removed 20 polyps. Research I have done say that lots of red meat cause polyps. Just wondering if the Keto diet helps or hurts colon polyps as the studies I have done say Keto actually helps gout and kidney stone crystals. Your thoughts or video on these to things and how the Keto diet might help especially the polyps
People noticed my miraculous change so they ask how it happened. When I mentioned the KETOGENIC way of life they immediately order me to stop what I’m doing because it’s “deadly”. I would ask “so, how did come to that conclusion?”. It’s always what they picked up from hearsay. Now I just say that I’ve made better food choices. I’m 53 and lost 55 pounds in 6 months with 180deg changes in bloodwork. Thanks Doc.
I really needed this. ty
Thank you Dr. Berry! You are saving lives and improving quality of life for folks everywhere. Thank you so much, btw where can I get those meat colored socks? 😄
Wow, I was just listening to you guys talking and when I heard the comment about using your arms to get up from the chair, I said that’s me! I just thought it was an old age thing. I will be looking forward to more information on this subject. I was thinking the other day of how in the world would I get out of this chair if I didn’t have arms, not to mention the toilet!
In 2018 I lost 48 pounds and I'm age 61. In 2019 I'm concentrating on building up muscles and cardio. Probably would have been better to do together, but that's not how it worked out for me. That's OK, I have a whole year to get in great shape!
I’m 51 and have been eating mainly a keto way for a year now, I’m not losing weight. But I’m not gaining weight either. I happy to say I’m on no medication and healthy. When people make comments like, Oh your on the Keto diet. I say no I’m eating like my grandpa did. He lived to be 91 and would mow the yards for the old people (folks that were in the 50’s) 😂 He is my hero and his way of eating obviously did him good!
Exactly! I'm 56, hemiplegic due to stroke and 4 cancers, coma etc. since I was 38! I'm now morbidly obese and lost only 24lbs in 3 months. I have Zero Metabolism. I'd love to hear your advice for ppl like me who are wheelchair bound on Keto! Loving this form of eating. We were told such horrible info re eating while growing up in the 70s, 80s, 90s. I love IF and even may start OMAD soon. Your thoughts? BTW love you two straight talkers!😀🎄
24 pounds in that short time is amazing. Don't get discouraged. Do your research. Watch all of Dr Berry's and Nurse Cindy's videos and try Dr Eric Westman as well.
@@candiceteeter9757 Thx! I watch all if Dr. Berg's stuff! Only 4lbs second month. The rest all in 1 month. I just don't want to fall backward. I need to catch up on all of the videos of these two! They're fun.
Regina, I think that amount of weight loss is good. I lose weight much slower than that. Too rapid weight loss can actually be bad and trigger negative cardiovascular events (i.e., heart attack). (I'm not in the medical field, but I read a lot of medical literature.) Also, is your blood sugar high? If your blood sugar is high, you may find it more difficult to lose weight. Metform might help if you are able to tolerate it. It takes time to get used to and your other health problems might preclude you taking it.
@@Jan96106 Thx for replying. All my last blood work was fine. Thank God! Cindy makes so much sense. I'd love to hear her post menopausal take on these thingsl
@@reginapontes5672 I fit in that category myself. I am now one pound away from the non over-weight category and about ten pounds from my ideal weight. But I lost the weight very, very, very slowly.And I already know that the most challenging part is keeping it off. You are fortunate that your blood sugars are fine. Good fortune in your weight loss.
